BSEE Advertorial
A modular and onsite building services specification featuring Kingspan Kooltherm Pipe insulation and insulated pipe support inserts has been delivered at N06 in East Village in the former London 2012 Athletes’ Village.
Work on the Get Living development used next generation High Rise Solutions (HRS) — an offsite sub- assembly construction method designed to deliver notable improvements in efficiency, quality and waste reduction. To support this approach, Level 2 BIM was implemented from the outset allowing for close collaboration and design certainty across the design team.
Kingspan Kooltherm Pipe Insulation and Insulated Pipe Support Inserts were specified for a range of Low Temperature Hot Water (LTHW) and Boosted Cold Water System (BCWS) pipework within the modules, and as part of the onsite specification from Commercial Insulation. Kingspan Kooltherm Pipe Insulation offers a thin and highly thermally efficient solution and was specified in a range of thicknesses from 20 – 50 mm covering steel and copper pipes in 15 – 200 mm diameters. Together with Kooltherm Insulated Pipe Support Inserts, they provide an

effective barrier against heat transfer to and from the pipework, improving the efficiency of the building services and protecting against overheating from pipework in living areas.
Damien McMullan from Alternative Heat said: “The development uses a district heating system, so it was essential to keep heat losses from the pipework to a minimum. The combination of Kingspan Kooltherm Pipe Insulation and Insulated Pipe Support Inserts allowed us to easily meet these requirements across the different pipe diameters. The taped edges on the pipe support inserts also made them easier to install and provided a high quality, durable finish. Our positive experience using Kingspan on this project has led to Alternative Heat specifying and using Kingspan product on several other large projects since.”

Henrad Radiators, a brand of leading radiator manufacturer Stelrad, is celebrating the completion of a major contract with Newport City Homes in South Wales with more than 7,000 Henrad Compact radiators installed by contractor Gibson Specialist Technical Services in Bridgend.
The contract began back in 2018 with heating system replacement projects across Newport City Homes social housing development at Dyffryn Estate to the west of Newport and came to completion recently with the replacement of the heating systems in Aneurin Bevan Court sheltered housing scheme in Dyffryn. Aneurin Bevan Court consists of 59 one- bedroom flats and was originally built in 1986. The original heating systems have been replaced with an energy efficient district heating system that sees HIUs – heat interface units in each flat effectively performing the tasks of a boiler, offering heating and hot water comfort for each flat. The HIUs control the heating to the new Henrad radiators – one each in the living room, the bedroom, the kitchen and the bathroom and toilet.
Kevin Moulton at Gibson STS said: “We have
been able to install good quality radiators across the contracts we have serviced for Newport City Homes and have seen the radiators delivered as and when we needed them via the Cardiff East branch of Total Plumbing Supplies.” “We’re delighted to have been able to work on this project over the past three years,” says Henrad’s head of marketing Chris Harvey. “It’s a major project and one that has operated well for all the parties involved. The Henrad Compacts are our best selling radiators and have been selected for a huge number of social housing projects up and down the UK in the last decade. It’s a pleasure to be involved in a project like this that runs like clockwork and sees the client, the contractor, the merchant and us all happy with the way things work out.”

Zumtobel’s infinity tunableWhite is a modular, fully integrated system, with consistent lighting quality in virtually end-to-end illumination. tunableWhite luminaires create different atmospheres and change the ambience of a space throughout the day, which can also bring health benefits by supporting circadian rhythm.
SLOTLIGHT infinity RGBW illuminates the cot areas in the NICU and bay areas in ICU. RGBW offers new possibilities such as the generation of pastel colours and various additional mixed colours for different atmospheres. SLOTLIGHT infinity RGBW also illuminates the handwashing areas, turning blue to stop washing. SLOTLIGHT infinity offers a continuous line of light in the corridors in the NICU and ICU departments. Zumtobel’s PANOS infinity downlights illuminate the circulation and reception areas, and KAVA
recessed wall lights provide indirect nightlight in the bays. Thorn’s Omega Pro illuminates the offices, utility areas, cleaner’s rooms and circulation areas and Katona, a surface-mounted luminaire is installed in the patient’s rest room and waiting areas. Cetus recessed LED downlights illuminate the general circulation areas, whilst the IT hub and offices have been lit using Thorn’s College LED range of curved profile linear fluorescent luminaires. Aquaforce Pro, a dust and moisture resistant LED luminaire, has been installed in the store cupboards and Chalice LED downlights for the shower rooms. acdc supplied Vista, a compact linear LED marker luminaire, is recessed into the walls in the bay areas.

Heavenly Celeste at St Teresa House
St Teresa House is a contemporary student accommodation facility located in a popular academic area on Beaumont Road, close to the University of Plymouth. Luceco has recently supplied a variety of luminaires for the communal areas of the facility during recent internal works, including the entrance lobby, retail area, common room, stairwells, and corridors. Carbon downlighters are an ideal replacement for compact fluorescent fittings and designed to retrofit ceiling cut outs of common traditional downlights. Carbon was used in the main lobby area and corridors along with Tempest Extra self- test emergency downlighters complete with corridor optic. This recessed mounted high output emergency downlight with open area or corridor lens distribution is available in Self- test or Emergency Dali and compliments other principal luminaires, providing 3 hours non maintained emergency lighting which is an essential element to the lighting of a communal space.

Stairs and stairwells were lit with Celeste energy saving bulkhead luminaires. Celeste is an attractive circular LED luminaire featuring a ‘corona’ backlight effect with a direct / indirect light distribution which can be wall or ceiling mounted as at St Teresa House or suspended as a pendant luminaire.
The common room was lit with linear recessed arrays of the Contour luminaire. The LED lighting system consists of connectable modules that can be surface mounted, suspended or recessed as at St Teresa House. Contour has a 5 – 7 year extended warranty available and offers over 100,000 hours operational life.
Stuart Tiday, Electrical Project Manager at Intoheat based in Exeter said “the internal works included a considerable lighting refurbishment programme which has resulted in the lit environment being significantly improved. Furthermore, the LED technology used in luminaires from Luceco will provide a welcome reduction in running costs for St Teresa House as well as reducing future maintenance.”
